Disclaimer: I do not own Inu Yasha or Yu Yu Hakusho.

A/n: Sorry for not updating for a long time. So, I'll try to make it up to you peoples. I don't know how, but oh wells. I'll think up of a way.

Last time… The Inu-tachi rushed towards the place where they sensed Kagome and Koenma.

Their eyes widened.

This Time… The dusty cloud disappeared. Koenma stood shakily, as he held onto Kagome. Sesshoumaru had been protected by Tenseiga, the sword he despised so much. Sesshoumaru grabbed hold of the Tenseiga and placed it in his sheath. "Just get off this Sesshoumaru's lands by tonight." He turned around and jumped in the air and was caught by his two-headed dragon, Au and Un.

"It's that girl," said Kagome, as she noticed Rin, riding with Sesshoumaru.

"What is it, Kagome?" asked Koenma, confused.

Kagome shook her head, as if saying it was nothing. "It's nothing. Are you alright?" Koenma nodded.

"Kagome-chan!" shouted Sango, as she and the rest ran up to Kagome. They were all obviously worried.

"Wench, this is what happens when you think you and your lover can just go off without us!" shouted Inuyasha.

Kagome smiled. "I'm glad that you were worried about me." Inuyasha blushed.

"Wh-what? Since when was I ever worried about you? You're just a stupid girl that can only do one thing right, and that's just seeing jewel shards."

That just made Kagome annoyed. Number one, Inuyasha said that he wasn't worried. Number two, he called her a stupid girl. Number three, he said that she can't do anything right but see jewel shards. She took one deep breath and in a deadly tone, "Inuyasha…"

"What?"

"OSUWARI!"

The infamous osuwari had made Inuyasha dive face flat to the ground, causing the infamous huge craters. This was certainly not a one time event, as Inuyasha cursed under his breath about stupid commands, stupid prayer beads, stupid Kaede putting the prayer beads on him, etc.

"Hmph!" said Kagome. "Serves you right, Inuyasha."

Shippou jumped into Kagome's arms and hugged her. Kagome was used to Shippou's customs and was able to catch and hug Shippou, isn't that amazing? "Kagome, we were so worried about you. Inuyasha was also making this huge crater in Kaede's hut and then it made me, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara worried and then, Kaede was getting annoyed with Inuyasha, but he didn't stop at all pacing around the room and he was so worried and concerned and then he bonked me on the head for saying that." Shippou began taking deep breaths.

"Don't worry, Shippou. I'm alright, thanks to Koenma," she looked over to Koenma and smiled. She had latched herself to Koenma's arm.

..:Meanwhile:..

If life wasn't so horrible, the Yu Yu Gang wouldn't be stuck at the Higurashi shrine stuck with boring history from Kagome's grandpa.

"Where's the off button?" whispered Yusuke, about to go insane. He was about to tear his hair off his head.

"I don't know, Urameshi. But, we can't hurt senior citizens like him, man this is like our one substitute," Kuwabara whispered back.

Yusuke nodded remembering about that one teacher with the funkiest last name, Ms. Rizanksi. Gawd, she wouldn't shut up. She kept talking about how books are good, and they never had anything done for class. She even said that she posted three poems from the International Poetry Society, or whatever. There were other people that posted poems there, like that one girl from his class, oh yea, that art freak Toru.

Well, Kurama and Hiei were almost about to fall asleep. Hiei was taking a rest really. He wasn't sleeping. You wouldn't catch him sleeping, even till his death! You would never catch him sleeping.

"…And, so that's how the Higurashi bloodline began, and we pass on a tradition…"

Yusuke groan and quickly took out a pen and paper from his pocket. He began doodling stick figures. He wanted the old man to shut up so bad, but he knew it'd be rude and the old man would just keep talking.

"Uhm… ojii-chan, I think that's enough of your story," said Mrs. H, as she entered the room with tea. She didn't expect him to bore the poor children to death. Souta ran in through the door.

"Mama! I'm home!" shouted Souta. He stopped, as he saw four strange boys that was about the same age as his sister. "Uhm… are these Kagome-nee-san's friends?"

Mrs. H shook her head. "These are the friends of Koenma. Ojii-chan was just telling a story about our family history." Souta groaned. He felt those guys' pain. He knew, it was not cool to just say "Shut up" to an old guy, like ojii-chan, but they can get so annoying. Like this one teacher in his school. He was glad that his teachers didn't go on like that blabbering about their past.

"How about I take them to my room and play my PS2?" asked Souta. That was the only thing he owned, besides the TV and a bed. Mama wouldn't allow him to get an X-Box or anything else like the Gameboy SP or Gameboy DS. All his friends had it; but then, he always had the latest games for the PS2. Oh well, at least, that was something to be proud of.

"That would be a great idea, Souta," said Mrs. H. Yusuke jumped triumphantly; glad to get out of this predicament. Kurama shook his head a bit, trying to get the sleepiness off him. He and Hiei stood up from their spots, while Kuwabara and Yusuke were having this little happy dance.

Ojii-chan stood up, exclaiming, "I didn't get to tell them about the whole thing!"

"Ojii-chan, they can't get what you're saying," said Mrs. H. "They are kids that want to have fun, like going out with their friends and chatting. They don't like history the way you do."

"Nonsense!" began Ojii-chan. "When I was their age, history was my favorite subject." Yusuke began to think how the old man was like back then. Probably, a nerdy guy or… or some history freak that was a teacher's pet. Yusuke began to think up of all the possibilities.

"That was you, Ojii-chan. These young boys like adventure, and they don't like lecture," replied Mrs. Higurashi, buying off time so the Yu Yu Gang and Souta can escape the wrath of history. It wasn't even a wrath. It was just boring talk, nothing of self interests.

.:Meanwhile:.

They were camping out of Sesshoumaru's territory. Kagome had shuddered wondering what'll happen if Sesshoumaru had gotten the best of them. He would've used her as bait and killed Koenma. But then, she would kill herself before Sesshoumaru would've killed Koenma. But, if she was killed and Koenma was alive, then that wouldn't be their happy ending but their sad ending.

Kagome began to ponder about that. "Kagome-po, what's on your mind?" asked Koenma, as he held Kagome close to him. Kagome looked up at him and smiled, glad to know he was concerned about her.

"It's nothing," answered Kagome and kissed him. It was really a small peck on the lips, since everyone was there. Kagome then began to think about Koenma. How did they meet? It was quite vague.

Flashback

Kagome had gone to the mall to buy new clothes. There were less people than expected the last time she came, but she shrugged. She was in the men's department as well. She wanted to buy a shirt for Souta and Shippou. Though, it was already bad enough that she had less money than expected.

"So, why are we meeting here?" She heard a guy said. She ignored the guy and continued to search for clothes.

"We're here to discuss something. My father doesn't know, and I can't contact you by the special Spirit Realm items." She heard another voice say with hastiness.

Kagome was interested and continued to listen. The guys who were talking, they were awfully loud to talk about something like that. Kagome giggled to herself. Sometimes men can just be so predictable. Though, for some reason, men just can't figure out a woman.

"I don't want to alarm my father of this," replied the same guy. "I want you all to scout around the mall. There are demons lurking about here."

"Hn. That'll be easy," replied a much different voice. His voice sounded confident… and cocky, which Kagome rolled her eyes at. Typical. She found herself mutter but listened on.

There was another voice that replied. It was more like Sesshoumaru's voice, though it wasn't cold. The voice seemed calm and collective, just like how Miroku is at certain times. "Hiei, I don't think it'll be that easy, since Koenma has gotten out of Spirit World to make us all come here." There was a little pause. "There must be something else that we're searching for."

Kagome seemed to be amaze with that one. He sounded very intelligent and probably was the brains of the group.

"You are correct as always, Kurama. Though, I'm not sure we'll be able to find what we need today."

"I see," said the now known person as Kurama. "So, it's a someone, a teenager to be specific. Since, a lot of teenagers hang around here; you'd suspect that teen would be here during the week. You shouldn't make these things obvious, Koenma."

"You still amaze me, Kurama," replied the other now known person as Koenma.

Kagome decided to get a view on the men she was eavesdropping on. She made her way to the clothes hanging near them, a bit hoping that they won't become suspicious of her. Her cell phone began to ring, making her almost fall over.

"Moshi, moshi," Kagome finally answered, having the cell phone squished between her ear and shoulder. She could feel their gazes, but it retreated quickly in a second. There was a slight pause, while she looked through for a certain size. "Ah, Souta-chan, don't worry. Everything is going to be alright."

"We should split up now. You all know what to check for," replied one of the boys. Kagome almost gasped out of surprise seeing him. Brown hair, golden eyes. He seemed… not human. It was as if there was something special about him.

"Kagome!" She heard Souta shout over in the line.

"Gomen, gomen, Souta-chan!" answered Kagome. She almost had a heart attack. Though, she was really glad for the distraction. There was a moment of silence. "Alright, alright. I'll buy that for you. Bye." She hung up and placed her cell in her little purse.

She saw the group of boys split up, going to who knows where. Though, the brown haired one just stood there, smiling at her. He waited a few seconds until he approach her. "So, why were you eavesdropping in our little conversation?"

Kagome could feel herself flush. The fact that he noticed and not the others was beyond her. "I-I was… not." Oh, yes, she just hated herself. She couldn't tell a lie! What's wrong with her?

She saw the guy chuckle. "How about we get out of here? I bet you know who I was talking about." Kagome couldn't have gotten redder but nodded, forgetting all the stuff she had to buy.

End of Flashback

Kagome giggled in that memory, as she leaned against Koenma. Everyone looked at her a bit strangely. "What's so funny, Kagome-sama?" asked Miroku.

Kagome could not help but break into a smile. "I just remembered how I met Koenma." Koenma blushed a bit. He was kind of… off that day. He was just bored and had tricked his spirit detectives. He felt like ditching them in the middle and coming back with a happy time, while they had searched oh so vigilantly. Yes, he was a cruel boss.

"I don't get how that's funny," Inuyasha said, scratching his head a bit.

Shippou did the same. "I don't get her. How's it funny? Did he do something stupid like what Inuyasha would do?" Shippou asked, a bit careless despite the fact that he knew he was going to get bonked on the head in 3… 2… 1… "Itai! Wahh! Kagome, Inuyasha hit me!"

"Inuyasha! Shippou's still a little kid!"

"Feh! Then, he should learn not to insult people!" retorted Inuyasha.

"Oh, you!"

Koenma, Sango, and Miroku were laughing at the way they were acting. "This still never gets old," said Miroku.

"I agree with Houshi-sama," Sango said. She turned to look at him but looked away. Oh, yes, she felt weird. She felt this jittery feeling, but she pushed it back. She cleared her throat, so everyone would pay attention to her. "We should be eating now. After all, we have another big day." With that said, everyone began eating. Though, Koenma and Kagome were sharing the same bowl, so they were feeding each other a bit… playfully. Oh, don't you just hate it? Miroku even had the urge to do that with Sango, but he put that aside.

Miroku sighed mentally. He wished he could tell his dear Sango. He was afraid of two things. His cursed hand and rejection. Rejection. How he hated that word. "Maybe…" He said aloud. He felt everyone's gazes on him. "Ah, sorry. I was just thinking." It wasn't a lie. He was really thinking. Though, he felt afraid of…

"What's on your mind, houshi-sama?" asked Sango, as she finished her bowl.

You. "Nothing, Sango," answered Miroku.

Immediately, Kagome stood up surprising Koenma and everyone. "I have a confession to make."

..:Meanwhile:..

Hiei and Kurama searched around the shrine grounds. The only things that emitted energy was the Goshinboku tree and the well shed. "This reminds me of something, Hiei." Kurama said, after they had searched for a couple of hours.

"You might as well say it," Hiei responded, his voice held no emotion or interests. Though, Kurama knew that he was. Hiei was Hiei after all, and he could figure him out. They were friends, companions, etc. Though, it irritated him that Hiei would never tell him anything. He had to figure things all by himself.

"There was a time where Koenma had gone off. We thought he got lost or something."

Hiei began to ponder. "So, you're saying he's in the ningen mall?"

"No, Hiei, he could possibly ditching us and soon come back," answered Kurama. "But, we could go there if you want. I can see that wearing all black could be quite irritating especially in the sun." A little tease, but it was true. It was the summer, and Hiei needed to wear something more, less black.

"Kurama," Hiei said, after a few seconds.

Kurama looked at him questionably.

"Go screw yourself." Hiei then walked back inside.

END of CHAPTER

Yes, yes, weird of Hiei to say that to Kurama. But, I felt like it. Well, I've been having this writer's block for a long time. And, I can't even think up of anything. I feel so uninspired. Though, I'm sorry for not updating this earlier. So, I hope you all forgive me.
